Jaron Blossomgame kept Clemson in the game for a while, scoring the first seven points and 13 of the Tigers' first 17. But Blossomgame added just nine more points the rest of the way after Steve Vasturia started defending him, finishing with 22 points.

Auguste scored five points during a 7-0 run late in the first half to open an 11-point lead and the Irish hit three 3-pointers early in the second half and used a 10-3 spurt to go ahead 55-38.

Notre Dame (26-5, 14-4 Atlantic Coast Conference) finished with the most regular-season victories in school history. Clemson (16-14, 8-10) lost for the sixth time in its last eight games.

With the loss, Clemson earns the No. 8 seed in the upcoming ACC Tournament in Greensboro. The Tigers will face No. 9 seed Florida State Wednesday at noon.
